I wasn't agreeing with the claims against Trump. I think they are wrong. I was commenting on the fact that you can find arguments for all those claims for Clinton. Which cancels out the argument - and requires each claim to be taken by itself without supporting evidence and reasoned arguments.

The libs got to use to not having to back up their claims through a confirmation bias from their echo chamber.

What I don't understand is that you're telling us how you feel bullied by the libs using generalities, and in doing that you're labeling me a "lib" and doing so in a way that comes across as talking down to me.

I'm not defending the behavior of Democratic Party supporters, but can you recognize the hypocrisy in your behavior just now?

Racist is an attribute of a group. Libs is the name of a group. I think its different.

I am not using libs as a derogatory term. Liberals vs conservatives. Left vs right. I think the division is pretty clear.

I absolutely don't mean to come across talking down to you :)

On the internet, without body language, it's hard to read tone of delivery. Thanks for the note back, and cool :-)

Except they're a classic smokescreen - every time one is refuted (and they all are, through expensive pointless investigation) another is invented to fill airtime.

This is where I disagree. There are so many analagous examples for Clinton its not funny.

This election I really saw the "liberal media" that everyone always talks about. Clinton had such a history that it made it clear as day. "Super predators", Jewish slurs, all the emails, Hillary's treatment of women after Bill's affairs, etc, etc.

Look at the NYTimes front pages during the election.
